weekly newspaper association and the ontario division of the c w n a seal campaign needs more with only a few days to go the easter seal fund has raised only 72 per cent of its 1500 obective dick shearty campaign chairman for the local rotary club is making an urgent appeal to all those who have not yet sent in a donation to give the natter serious thought it is imperative he says that the obective be met in order that activities for and assist ance to handicapped children of the district can be carried out in the coming year georgetown is fortunate in having a low incid ence of crippled children but nothing must be spared to help the ten young people who do live in and ar arena attendance increases ound georgetown to become as healthy as medical science can make them mr shearly and members of the seal committee appreciate contributions received to date and nave asked us to pass on their thanks to those who have been generous it js inevitable that in a campaign of this nature names are inadvertently missed from the list if someone has not received an appeal letter and wishes to contribute your donation can be sent to maurice manderson treasurer of the easter seal com mi fee it was a real pleasure to see the arena so well filled friday and saturday and to think that perhaps anoth er turning point has come in the upanddown cycle of winter sports attractions anyone who has lived in town for more than ten years still remembers the good old days of hockey when the arena was full to capacity for every league game and bursting at the seams for the playoffs and there are still those who grouse about the glorious play off series with sundndge when reserved seats were sold out almost before the queue formed early in the morning and there were hundreds of disappointed fans who sat home and chewed their fingernails while the raiders and bucko s boys thrilled those fortunate en ough to have a seat its been many a year since that has happened and through no fault of the team for while we haven t produced another ontario championship we have had are formals on the way out consistently good teams who have advarxed to the playdowns each year friday the team played one of their finest games of the year when they ousted stouffville to win the group championship and they must have been great ly helped by the packed house with standing room only which cheered them they can anticipate even more fans m the next series when meaford will prob ably be the opposition z saturday we wondered ust how successful the ice follies would be drawing people away from their tv sets and shared the pleasure of the sponsors to see again almost a full house let s hope that the good old days are back and that georgetown s community sports centre will draw as many spectators next week for the little nhl fin als and other future events which are coming formal dances may become a thing of the past in georgetown unless attendance perks up next year it seems strange that the bigger georgetown gets the smaller attendance becomes at affairs which prov ides a chance for ladies to don their party dresses and have a gay evening of dancing with their escorts the lions club for example lost fifty or sixty dollars on their dance last friday the girls pipe band had a similar experience in the fall and the iode bare ly broke even when they sponsored their valentine dance a few weeks ago these three events have become well established for years as the big dances in town we can recall when the town was half the size that the rose room would be ammed with a gay crowd in those days them that had would appear in tails and there would be a receiving line of club officials at the door and a punch table all contributing to the party spirit and besides the married couples there would be a fair sprinkling of younger single people includ ing some of the high school seniors friday nights dismal attendance could be partly blamed on the hockey game part on parties the night before and the night after which attracted some of the crowd one would normally expect but mostly on the fact that there ust seemed to be a lack of interest from the public in general there is only one answer if such dances are not to be come extinct those who want them must support them by their attendance service clubs cannot operate public affairs at a loss and if members must make up deficits from their own pockets they will eventually decide to have a private party or none at all disappearance of formal dances would not be a death blow to georgetown but it would remove one social activity which would be missed it is one of the things that in combination with other recreation makes a town a live one or a dead one pot pourri kincardine is in the news this week as a result of the odd outcome of a vote on two questions in the bruce county town voters approved beer outlets while turning down a major expenditure on water works which perplexes a dally

year and it is doubtful if the ladies will be able to don their spring finery as is customary the herald tries its best to keep up with a growing town but when we look at our personals each week we
